Hello and welcome to the One Credit Contest!! It's a competition to see who can get the farthest in a game on a single credit. Our game this week, chosen by S1x, is Wario's Woods for the NES!

The rules:

-NES/Famicom version only
-No cheats, cheat devices, or passwords
-No save states, slowdowns or other emulator tools
-Round play
-Type A game
-Start from round one
-No continuing
-US or Japanese version is acceptable
-Real hardware or emulation are both acceptable

A screen shot is optional. Just don't cheat. There's not a lot at stake here :P

I will maintain a leader board in this post, and about one week from now the winner will be decided. Progress is measured by the stage reached, then by credits + gold as a tiebreaker (the bottom value in the box labeled "GOLD" is your total collected gold, credits are CR at the bottom right). Further tiebreaking will be decided on a case-by-case basis (probably won't bother unless the top two are tied exactly). The winner gets to choose our next game.

FYI had to update the scoring rules a little bit because I didn't realize gold gave you credits. So we need to specify credits + gold when giving the score. It's weird and clunky but it's the only thing approaching score that this game has.
